Benefits of the Evidence-based approach
Accurate recruitment projections and timings
Site numbers are optimised and the number of poorly recruiting sites is reduced
Good relationships with Investigators and site staff are consolidated
Interest in the protocol is raised
Unnecessary protocol amendments are minimised
TEAMS CAN BE OVERCONFIDENT
and don’t think it is needed, but….No two protocols are ever exactly the same
Standard of Care may have changed
There may be new protocols competing for patients
LACK OF QUALIFIED RESOURCE?
Too labour intensive to do internally
CRAs may not have deep enough understanding of the disease
​
CDDI has senior medical experts to drive the process and engage in peer-to-peer discussion with Investigators
SITES WILL BE RELUCTANT TO DO IT?
In fact Investigators find the EbF process valuable
Sites are paid separately for this exercise
Focusses their attention on the protocol
UP-FRONT INVESTMENT OF TIME, RESOURCE AND BUDGET
The process takes around 3 months if the process is planned at an early stage. And, yes, there is an up-front investment to do the work.
Big savings can be made through fewer protocol amendments, more accurate prediction of recruitment, fewer sites and reduced project management costs
CDA AND CONTRACT TAKE A LONG TIME TO PUT IN PLACE
CDDI uses simplified CDAs and Letters of Agreement
